Gap Cover Solutions from Zestlife

December 8, 2024

All medical aid members face the problem that surgeons, anaesthetists and other specialists frequently charge more than the amount covered by their medical aid. When this occurs, you as the medical aid member becomes liable to pay for the shortfall. Time for gap cover solutions to save you having to pay the balance from your own pocket.

Gap Cover Solutions

The solution is for medical aid members to insure themselves against medical expense shortfalls through either of Zestlife’s top-of-the-range Gap Cover options.

Zestlife Universal Gap Cover offers the most comprehensive medical expense shortfall cover along with extensive financial protection against a wide range of health risks.

Zestlife Essential Gap Cover offers affordable cover for the most frequent medical expense shortfalls, along with additional financial protection for selected health risks.

Both of these options are available to main members and dependants of all South African registered medical aids. There is no maximum entry age and cover continues without a maximum expiry age.
